This has happened several times before. All the way from the Whiskey Rebellion to the school board desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas. In each and every case the feds have sent in the troops. When Washington and Eisenhower did it the states backed down without a shot being fired. When Lincoln did it the states fought and close the three quarters of a million people died and half the country was lain waste.

We are playing a dangerous game of poker with nullification. Everyone needs to know what the stakes are and know what they are going to do if Obama goes all in. And the best way to get a lot of people dead is to let the other guy think even for a second that we are bluffing on a pair of deuces.

England thought the Colonies were bluffing too. They sent in troops. Didn’t work out so good for the tyrants in that instance.

You’re correct of course. Everyone had better understand EXACTLY what’s at stake. But if we live in a REPUBLIC, then let’s be a Republic — and if we live in a DICTATORSHIP, let’s KNOW IT NOW.

Nullification is a practice whose time has come again. It must, if the Republic is to be saved. If there is no Republic, then let us accept our fate as serfs in a new world order, or begin a fight to the death for the Liberty we’ve lost. Better to know, than not to know....And I think we hold a bit more than a paid of deuces — don’t you?

Where will they send the troops? To DOCTORS offices. Hospitals.

WHERE?

If the states all of a sudden with hold all the tax revenue they collect for the feds that would get the leviathans attention asap.

Cicero wrote:

But the most foolish notion of all is the belief that everything is just which is found in the customs or laws of nations….what of the many deadly, the many pestilential statutes which nations put in force? These no more deserve to be called laws than the rules a band of robbers might pass in their assembly. For if ignorant and unskillful men have prescribed deadly poisons instead of healing drugs, these cannot possibly called physicians’ prescriptions; neither in a nation can a statute of any sort be called law, even though the nation, in spite of it being a ruinous regulation has accepted it.
